Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
The Year 5/6 children went to spend an afternoon in the science centre at Bradfield College. They each made a speaker out or paper which, when attached with copper wire to an amplifier and computer, produced sound. They also had a tour to the eco-roof which is very environment-friendly. The solar panels on the roof power their underfloor heating.
A huge well done to all choir members for a fantastic performance at The Hexagon of All The King’s Men. The choir made a stunning sound and our children displayed perfect concert etiquette. A particular well done to Charles, Alistair and Izzy for their solos and to Olivia and Sofia for their wonderful dancing
Netball
Our netball team had quite a gruelling time when they went for a friendly at Bradfield Primary. They had to play a different version of netball and on a bigger court so the final score was definitely not in our favour. Mrs Carney was absolutely delighted with the determination of the team as they kept their heads up, showed real team work and have come back fighting!
Every year we spend time thinking about our British Values (democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs) and holding debates and votes so the children feel involved in making some important decisions about our school. This year the children voted for their preferred whole school trip. The winning choice was an art trip so we are planning to visit the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford next summer. On November 5th, Years 5 and 6 visited The Houses of Parliament. First of all they had a tour around the House of Lords and watched a session in the House of Commons; they even saw the new Speaker walking to his first session. Then they had a workshop in which they had their own debate about animal abuse, had a talk by John Redwood and met our very own Richard Benyon on his last day. The children always love this trip and it gives them great ideas for their writing once they return to school.
